Bruce Feldman of The Athletic has dropped his annual mock draft, and while mock drafts are everywhere, his stands out for the insider intel from college and NFL sources.
At No. 3, Feldman has the New York Giants selecting Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders. No shocker there—Cam Ward went No. 1 to the Titans, and Abdul Carter landed at No. 2 with the Browns.
But what do coaches and scouts really think about Sanders? Here’s a mix of praise and concerns:
Big 12 Defensive Coordinator:
Great arm talent and poise
Borderline too confident, leading to bad sacks
Strong under pressure but lacks elite athleticism
Reads the game well and thrives when plays break down
Former NFL Coach:
Throws a very catchable ball
Solid pocket movement and decision-making
Takes way too many sacks—sometimes it’s on him, not just the O-line
Needs to speed up his internal clock for the NFL
Big 12 Secondary Coach:
High football IQ
Good offensive system helped him shine
Won’t be a bust, but adjustments are needed
Feldman’s full first-round mock offers deeper insights on every player, but for Giants fans, the big takeaway is this: If Sanders is the pick, the team is getting a confident, talented QB who needs to clean up his sack issues for long-term success.
What do you think—should the Giants go for Sanders at No. 3?
